This study compared the performance of Kevlar neat fabric and STF/Kevlar composite fabric using the picture frame test. The results showed that the STF/Kevlar composite fabric had a higher load-carrying capacity and exhibited obvious differences under different loading rates. Additionally, the STF/Kevlar composite fabric had higher shear deformation stiffness and energy absorption level.
The picture frame test was applied to compare Kevlar neat and STF/Kevlar composite fabrics. The digital image correlation markers method was applied to measure the shear deformation behavior of the fabric in real-time under three loading rates: 100, 500, and 1000 mm/min. A theoretical model was applied to evaluate the effect of STF on the shear deformation stiffness of the fabric and cells and on the energy absorption during shear deformation. The results show that the STF/Kevlar composite fabric has a larger load-carrying capacity than the neat fabric in the picture frame test, and has obvious loading rate dependence. The yarn cell of the fabric undergoes slip deformation and reaches a shear-locked state; the shear modulus and the cell spring torsion coefficient of the STF/Kevlar composite fabric are significantly higher than those of neat fabric. The shear thickening behavior of STF occurs at higher loading rates, and the composite fabric has the highest shear deformation stiffness and shear energy absorption level.
